Lady In The House Ch. 10

"And I want her!" Davey demanded in a menacing tone.

Michele was stunned; she couldn't believe what she was hearing. Was Eddie's best friend and business partner prepared to take on Eddie over her? She felt flattered but at the same time confused.

"If she wants me that is?" Davey looked deep into Michele's eyes with a questioning look.

Michele was now totally confused. She knew that prisoners kept transvestite inmates as ‘wives'; in fact some of Eddie's ‘girls' were ‘married' to inmates but continued to work in the brothel to provide money for their ‘husbands'. The more privileged inmates, the ones who really ran the jail, had full time transvestite partners; wives, who ‘stayed at home' and lived with them in their cells.

"You're fucking joking aren't you Davey? You ain't going to let this big arsed bitch get in the way of our friendship are you?" Eddie sounded astounded.

"No I'm not Eddie," Davey replied, "If she wants to move in with me I'll see you right, but she stays with me; exclusively!"

"But only if that's what she wants to do," Davey added this time turning to Michele and taking her hands in his and looking deep into her eyes.

Michele felt completely feminine; at that moment the remnants of her male alter-ego ‘Mike' disappeared. She was a woman who wanted the man standing before her. She tried rationalising her feelings; being Davey's concubine was a better prospect than being forced to work in the prison brothel; but deep inside she knew it was more than that. She had become Michele; she was Michele, and she wanted to be Michele all the time, and to be with Davey.

"Yes Davey," Michele's whisper was barely audible, "take me home please; take me away from this place."

"Oh you fucking dopes," Eddie laughed.

"She is going to cost you heaps Davey," he warned; "You're not getting her off me for nothing!" he insisted.

"Eddie you're my best mate in this place and we go back a lot of years; we scratch each others backs and work the joint for a share of the profits; but if you keep talking about Michele like that in front of her I'll fucking well smack you!" Davey retorted angrily.
